Graduate Students

[sohotrightnow]

Just give me an answer! What is the correct answer????

[SDSULAX]

Your year of graduate school has to begin the next semester after you graduate. So no you don't have any eligibility left as a graduate student, but if you were to pursue a second undergraduate degree you would have 1 year of eligibility left. I hope this answers your question.

Craig,

Is that a WCLL rule? There is no clock in the MDIA. As our rules are written right now, as long as you are at the same school where you got your undergrad degree, and you have eligibility remaining, you can play for as many years as you have remaining, regardless of how long it's been since you graduated (and assuming you're carrying 12 credits).

[SDSULAX]

Yes JP, that is a WCLL rule. Which I believe applies in this particular instance to sohotrightnow.

So if you didn't play MDIA lax in undergrad, can you play MDIA at the grad school of your choice?

[OAKS]

Nope. You can only play in graduate school if it's the same school you attended for undergrad.

here is another what if question:

what if you play d3 soccer for a year, then transfer schools and you play for the club lacrosse team, how many years of eligibilty would you have now since it was a different sport than lacrosse?

I would think four years. The by-laws read, I believe, that you have four years of eligibility to play college lacrosse. If that soccer-year counted, then anyone who plays two sports will lose their eligibility in two years.
